Course Description: Math 1151, Precalculus II

Overview: Trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions: definitions, graphs, identities, applications; real and complex zeros of polynomials; polar coordinates; DeMoivre's Theorem; conic sections; solutions of linear systems by substitution and elimination; systems of nonlinear equations and systems of inequalities; arithmetic sequences and geometric series. 3 credits. 3 lectures, 1 recitation per week.

Prerequisite: 3 ½ years high school math or C- in Math 1031 or Math 1051 or placement exam. Trigonometry is not a prerequisite.

Audience: Students from Math 1051 (Precalculus I) or Math 1031 (College Algebra) and those that need a little refresher course before going on to calculus, often because of the trig. Satisfies the prerequisite for Math 1271 or Math 1371 (Calculus I), and also satisfies the CLE Mathematical Thinking requirement.
